<p>github recently gave the <code>rust-lang</code> org private alpha access to a new feature for issues: issue forms!</p>

<p>they allow creating things like this <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/docs.rs/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=limits-increase&amp;template=sandbox-limits-increase-request.yaml">https://github.com/rust-lang/docs.rs/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=limits-increase&amp;template=sandbox-limits-increase-request.yaml</a>, instead of creating forms using html comments</p>

<p>no problem! if you see other teams that might benefit from this feel free to share the doc, as long as they record the repo they enable forms in the doc</p>

<p>Very first reaction: It'd be really nice if the <code>preview</code> tab still existed, and showed what the resulting rendered markdown looked like, since some fields accept markdown.</p>

<p>It looks like the textarea input has a preview, which I think is probably sufficient. I don't think people would typically get too creative in a single-line input.</p>

<p>Ah, fair enough. But still, it'd be nice to see the whole thing in rendered form, for when you've finished writing everything and you want to see if you've told the story you're trying to tell.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="121055">@Pietro Albini</span> Very cool! What does the generated output look like? Can you control what it is generated?</p>
<p>My first impression is that it would be nice in <code>rust-lang/rust</code> for bug reports a separate “Backtrace” text box instead of having to know to paste your backtrace inside the summary HTML.</p>

<p>Ah so it isn’t customisable atm? That’s a shame. I was hoping that you could give it a template, and it uses moustache or something to format their answer into the issue.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about a full template, but a <code>hide_in_details: true</code> would indeed be useful for backtraces and such</p>
